CHAPTER 1




On a shrill, shouted command, two hundred gleaming metal arms raised upward. A hundred fluorescing
ray guns pointed at the cloudless sky of the Gobi Desert. One hundred steel fighter robots poised
motionlessly; their mechanical inner workings were operating, but this was not outwardly detectable.

"LetтАЩs give our guest the full dress treatment," Colonel Freyt advised, with an ironic glance at the human
commanding officer of the robot guard troops standing at attention.

Captain Klein coughed discreetly. He squinted across at the ship that had just landed. "Looks kind of
familiar," he said. "Will you take care of the ceremony, sir?"

Colonel Freyt, chief of the Space Fighter Force, moved forward stiffly like a marionette. On the mighty
tail unit of the landed jet bomber gleamed the emblem of the U.S. Space Force. Freyt stopped before the
escalator.

The figure emerging from the narrow hatch was huge and impressive. General Lesley Pounder, space
force commander, looked about him silently. For a moment his gaze rested on the dress formation of the
fighter robots. He acknowledged Captain KleinтАЩs salute distractedly. Far above the airport thundered
ghostly shapes in the blue May sky of the Gobi Desert. It was shortly after 1300 hours. The sunтАЩs heat
bore down oppressively.

Crackling blasts of thunder confirmed that the ships up there, whistling toward outer space, had pierced
the sound barrier. Before the sonic booms reached the ground, the silvery dots of reflected light had
disappeared.

Pounder cleared his throat "Quite a show," he acknowledged appreciatively. Then, "Hello, Freyt. ItтАЩs
been a long time, hasnтАЩt it?" Even Pounder found the first moments of their meeting a bit distressing.
